Kelly is awesome! The owner was rude and unwelcoming. Tried pushing the wine flight when we were there.. Seemed concerned about "free samples " when we were both getting glasses and purchased several bottles. Maybe she should focus on those dusty bottles on the top shelf and not what I'm drinking. If it weren't for Kelly, we wouldn't go back. Otherwise great experience.

Really cozy place and amazing selection. We attended a paint & sip which was fun. The not fun part was the interaction with the bar tender, Red. She belongs in a dive bar not a wine bar. Very abrasive and rude. We had an issue/question regarding our drink tickets and she had zero empathy while coldly ‘scolding’ us for not knowing. Super harsh with her speaking. Not a pleasant or friendly person. Many commented the same in our group.She is tarnishing this place, sadly.

I've been wanting to visit this place for quite some time, and finally did with some of my friends from the Junior League of Rockford. What a cute place to come hang out, have some wine (or other drinks), have some snacks, relax and socialize. The bartenders were so friendly and helpful!! The atmosphere is cozy, with many tables scattered throughout. There's lots of different wines all over to choose from if you are just shopping to bring home, there's wines they have for tasting, or by the glass. Or if you want to buy a bottle but drink some of it there you can have it sealed up before you go! I can't wait to come back and bring my husband. Super cute and cozy in the heart of downtown Rockton.

Once you get service, they are helpful with recommendations, but the challenge is getting service. You can stand right at the register, they look at you, then turn away and keep right on chatting away until one of them feels like pausing their gossip and granting you the honor of paying. Our group gave this place multiple tries, hoping the poor service was an "off day", but it's more consistently poor than good.

They don't really have food. They do have cheese and cracker boxes. This is a fun place!

The wine tasting tonite was a wonderful time. Great selection of wines and atmosphere is relaxing.
I had a wonderful time last evening. It was my first visit, and there was a wine tasting in progress upon our arrival. My niece and I had a great time mingling and trying new wines. Nice shop; we'll definitely be back!

I was super excited to come here and do some wine tasting with friends. I enjoyed the wine tasting and service during that. After I paid, my friend went up to pay and they had given her card away to another customer earlier. Why take our card for a tab if you are then just going to just pick a random card when a customer comes up. They took the cards out of the cash register and were like which one is yours? No protection or accountability. A debit card is direct access to a person's money. How they pay rent. How they pay for gas, food, childcare...They ended up being like "we charged $20 on your card and gave it to some man". So generously they refunded the $20 onto the stolen card and then made my friend pay full price for wine and wine tasting. They tried to make it okay by giving her a little tiny reusable wine bag. Really? You just gave access to her bank account away and can't get it back? She was too nice to say anything, but all of it should have been free. None of us will be not be back. I gave them 2 stars because it was a good experience before the paying.

From reservation to check out this establishment was accommodating, courteous, knowledgeable and beyond kind. I am so impressed by them and will definitely be returning as well as recommending. Thank you so much for an amazing ladies night ?

Excellent wine selection and a fantastic addition to the Rockton community. I would most certainly recommend them for anyone looking to learn more about wine and also for those who know about wine and are looking for niche selections. 5/5!
